Are we going to have a VC7.1 binary of Python 2.4 for Windows ?
That's indeed my understanding of The Plan today. More, we will not have a VC6 binary for Python 2.4. That may be controversial, but nobody has volunteered to produce an installer for a VC6 version.
Perhaps ActiveState can fill this gap ?!
(Just asking whether it's time to finally open the VC7 shrink- wrap box ;-)
Yup. IIRC, it took about 3GB of disk space to do a full install (including copying all the docs to disk). After it's installed, you won't recognize it, and will feel completely lost. This is a learning experience <wink>.
Hmm, looks like we'll have to get yet another box contributing to the global heating then... this Wintel alliance sure works well ;-) Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jun 16 2004)

Having two "official" binary-incompatible Python 2.4s for Windows seems like a bad idea to me. There will be confusion among Python users because of extension incompatibilities. Also, developers will have to produce binaries for both. Cheers, Brian
